"It was a positive because he didn't have any setbacks," assistant general manager Rob Antony told MLB.com. "He worked hard to come back healthy. Right now, we just don't think he's ready to help us, but he's healthy, so we didn't want to keep him on the DL so we optioned him. I think he understood and everything is fine."

De Vries gave up six runs on 11 hits in four innings in his last rehab appearance before being activated.

Frieri was charged with an earned run (the home-run hitter) and struck out three in 1 1/3 innings. Frieri had allowed one hit and no earned runs in 6 2/3 innings in May before Saturday.

Kendrick pitched six innings for the eighth start in a row, but allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks. He also struck out two, his first start of the season with more walks than strikeouts. He allowed a three-run home run in the second inning, but then settled down.

Kendrick is 4-2 with a 2.82 ERA. His next start is scheduled for Friday against the Nationals. 

"I'm OK," Molina said after the game.

Molina doubled twice before exiting Saturday to raise his batting average 21 points to .221.

"He wants to get back to the basics and quit thinking so much about the delivery -- just repeat his delivery, hit his spot with each pitch and not think about the process," Jones told the Free Press after Verlander's bullpen session Saturday. "Between starts, he wants to get away from thinking about the process and focus on hitting the glove and getting all of his pitches working. He was very good today."

Verlander is 4-4 with a 3.17 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 54 innings.
